DAYTON–The Washington State Department of Commerce will host a public input meeting focusing of clean energy development in and around rural communities at the Columbia County Fairground Pavilion May 14 at 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The meeting is one of three being held across the state. The other meetings are in Zillah and Mt. Vernon. The Zillah meeting is May 15 and Mt. Vernon the following day, May 16.

This meeting is designed for people who live in a rural Washington community and have an interest in how development of large or community-scale solar, wind and other types of clean energy projects may affect your community. There will be a conversation that will help inform the Rural Clean Energy Economics and Community Engagement Study and Report, being prepared under the direction of the Washington State Department of Commerce.

Statewide virtual public meeting - June date to be announced.
